Working Out From Home Vs Going to the Gym

@Kind4321 Lol and thank you. I'm basically too lazy at times for the gym or too busy. I walk early in the morning after feeding and walking the cat. Sometimes I walk in the afternoon or with my husband after dinner. My son and future DIL do the video thing. They are grueling. She also works out at the gym. He rides his bike. My other son belongs to a gym and his wife does the Soul Cycle thing. My fat husband works out at the gym three days a week. Go figure?

I can imagine they must be many life memberships judging by the laughing emoji.I read somewhere fasted walking in the morning is good for weight loss and all.What time do you do the walking? I think you look great in your picture you are slaying!Have you tried home workouts something close to what you enjoy in the gym?

@DianneN do you realize if i had their contacts i would screenshot this to the relevant parties especially that last statement...LOL... Healthy active family you are!Doing the video workouts with a spouse sounds so refreshing.I'm sure they really enjoy..i.e your son and future DIL

@Kind4321, regarding weight training, body weight can stay the same or even go up if you are adding lean muscle mass. Although a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat, your body will look leaner and meaner! When I was swimming, we used to weigh ourselves in a water tank, and it would gives us a ratio of body fat compared to lean muscle mass. I was one of the lightest swimmers on my team, but I weighed the most underwater due to the amount of muscle I had. I had more muscle mass than any other woman on the team, so I weighed the most underwater. So, as you develop more lean body mass, your body will look leaner, but your weight may stay the same or even increase due to the increased muscle mass. Thank you for the tip about Keisha Lee! I will have to check it out. And yes, swimming was my passion when I was younger. I just loved swimming, and I grew up in a very hot climate where the temperature was around 115 degrees in the summer, so I was always in the pool! Please keep me updated on your progress, and if I can help, let me know...

@LifeHappens wow thank you.So from what I'm gathering it depends with body type and weights can add to your weight or make you stay the same.So i will definitely focus on cardio and HIIT workouts for now then focus on weights later because honestly I cannot afford to add weight at the moment. Check out Keisha and tell me if you like her workouts.What swimming technique helps in loosing tummy and arm fat or what do you think can help with that.Thank you for your valuable intput.

Thank you Recliner for cheering me on.We all need a cheerleader in this life!I also maximize on the free workouts glad to hear you do to.Its good to hear that you let the gym membership lapse because it was not convenient for you.I believe working out has to be flexible and fun and not a life burden. Wow a former competitive swimmer that's alot of fun and work to.Was it your passion?What was the driving force?I wish you were near me i could use some training on swimming techniques that can help tone my body. If you enjoy dance workouts check out Keisha Lee she has loads of free dance workouts as short as 10 minutes but quite intense.Funny thing the last gym I had subscribed to i added alot of weight instead of loosing yet i was eating right i later started thinking its because all that the instructor made me do is strength training.Do you think that can add someones weight? I will definitely report back to you after three months and update you on my progress!

@Kind4321 Oh I only do very minimal moves my friend..just stretching nothing fancy..all of it on YouTube as well. Tai Chi is a centering, balancing exercise, also on YouTube. These not only help my body but my mind.

@TiarasOceanView wow thanks friend I will try them out.I need to relax my mind it might help deal with Insomnia.What do you think?

Wow always wanted to try yoga but i haven't yet.How is it? What is tai chi?

@Kind4321 what i feel is, some amount of belly fat is gone, chest become little tight, the best part of home gym is you dont need to be properly dressed, so that you can see the movement of your muscles, if you have any tips for belly fat, please give me, i have to reduce before my cousin's marraige, i am giving my best on my workout, but i am eating at the same time.

I was thinking skipping rope is only for girls

sure sure i can now agree with you.Skipping is not my best though but i do other workouts and dumbells is the only form of weights i posses... Have you seen great results working out home?

@Kind4321 well when I first start I was so bad I berly could keep up with him, sometimes I stop and take a break and day by day I felt a little stronger my sister is very advanced and she motivated me a lot along the way, you have to drink lots of water during and after, I make my own shake banana, almond butter, almond milk, and some honey for sweetness, you can make any kind of fruit you like, and I have 3 meals a day with lots of vigetable and fruits, I just finished Brazilian butt left, and am starting t25 next week, good luck with your workout, YOU CAN DO IT ??

@ara299 wow i sure want to get to the point at which your sister and you are on.I will copy your shake it sounds yummy!Did you do brazillian but lift by Keisha or which one was it?Yes i can do it.Thanks for the encouragement

Wow i guess it was much easier for you I because you have a partner.I tried Insanity max 30 and felt as if I would become sick like literally so i decided to start with T25 Alfa,beta then gamma.I am starting beta next week..Do you get through all the Shaun T exercise moves faithfully without feeling like you can collapse?

@Destesh It only means you eat more when you have too much in your mind. I mostly can't eat when sad. I lose appetite when I am stressed. I think that is why I lose weight. :)

@Destesh sure I tend to overeat to when stressed and eat consolation meals which are mostly junk foods

@mildredtabitha keep off the stress though/.I'm sure the long walks are better.

I guess she enjoyed having her own space

@Kind4321 yes, the gym, I used to belong to closed down, they had classes in there kick box, jazzercise, and I did very well at these back then. At home I had a work out dvd that I followed, and it worked for awhile, I just think I do better out of the house.

Do you get to do what you love at the gym? Did you ever try home workouts before?

@CookieMonster46 wow i was doing kick boxing to for weight loss but i became so good that my trainer wanted me to start competing..LOL What is jazzercise?Kindly forgive my ignorance Due to your love for outdoor workouts then you can sign up for gym or organize some jogging sessions with a friend/friends what do you think?and a hike maybe?

@Kind4321 Today made it feel more so when I went shopping and found I didn't need the mobility cart any longer. I have lots of energy. Sadly I won't be going to the pool until I can get a new suit. Mine is now too big

@Kind4321 I will soon have a new suit and be back at the pool once again.

@just4him that's a very good milestone.To have an oversize item in your closet.

@Kind4321 no hes been exercising off and on since he was a teen.

Wow!Do you join in sometimes?Does he find it hard sometimes to be consistent?

@Courtlynn good am sure he has seen great results

wow glad you enjoy the home workouts as much as I do.Its the best.Which zumba workout do you use and have you seen results?

@Kind4321 2 different group of friends walk with me on certain days. No, we don't walk fast, some people in my groups can't do so.

@YrNemo glad you have company so its easier to get on with the exercise and be consistent...thanks so that means i can walk at my pace and still get results.

Other people are also advocating for walking guess i will incorporate that in my workouts.Do you walk fast or just moderately?You have walking company?

@Kind4321 Yes we should do what works for us..

Good to know your prefeence.Its always good to do what works for you.

Hi Abishek do you mean to say you workout at the office?You guys have a gym at your workplace?

This reminds me. I was working at the national treasury for three months last year and they had a gym, steaming bath and even a bathroom. And it was FREE.

@mildredtabitha you guys were lucky? Where i was working we had a gym but we used to pay a small fee

wow how many lbs dumbells do you use?How many miles do you walk?

bottom line is that you keep fit even in the smallest or biggest ways.Balance diet also helps its said to be 80% and workout is only 20% so kudos!

sure i find working out at home so flexible but you do require alot of discipline.How many times do you work out?

@Kind4321 i have a heart ailment. i cannot do strenuous exercises.

Sorry about that is it due to illness? There are some light home workouts i believe

@ridingbet so sorry.I will pray for you
